As regular HOTLINE readers know, we at UP have developed a proprietary real-time income tracking system that pulls Census numbers and estimates median incomes about six months to a year before Census does it officially.

We will soon have a full report, but here’s a sneak preview:

So here’s the good news on household incomes after accounting for inflation:

After four months of decline due to high energy prices, real household income showed a rebound in August and September. Median household income rose to $88,667 in August, nearly the highest income level ever, and up to roughly $2,500 in real terms from when Trump’s second term began!  In his four years in office real incomes barely budged under Biden.

Needless to say this doesn’t exactly fit the “affordability crisis” narrative the Left is shouting.

Help spread the news. The mainstream media won’t.
